Hi.

I am looking into an Around the World Ticket for a trip that includes Vancouver - Christchurch - Brisbane - Melbourbe - Hanoi - Ho Chi Minh - Phnom Penh - Bangkok - Kilimanjaro Zanzibar - Lima - Vancouver (obviously with some additional required stops and with some segments done overland). The price I got from an airtreks rep was pretty expensive (well over 6000$ US), but I found a few quotes that were significantly cheaper. I spoke with NICK from aroundtheplanet.com who is working on my itinerary and gave me a quote for about 4000$. Does anyone know anything about that company, or have they dealt with that company before (good or bad experiences please!). Also, info on how these tickets can range so much in price would be helpful as well - Looking for a expert in RTW travel to help me out.

Cheers.

Try airbrokers international. Used them for my ATW trip & it cost $1600 three years ago. But, I didn't have as many stops so it'll probably cost you a bit more. I found them to be very reasonable and they had great customer service.
